It's because root doesn't have 'rights' to your X display. You can't run any X programs as root if you su to root when you are logged into X as yourself. The command: xhost +host_name typed in as your user will allow root access to it. Be aware that I believe this is a security risk (anyone?)

I just installed Stormix Linux before work this morning, took around 20-30 minutes. Nice graphical setup tool. Monitor is a snap to set up, just pick it from a list. Last night I down loaded the ISO image from http://www.stormix.com, took about an hour with DSL. Burnt a CD, booted into Stormix

Stormix is an easy way to get Debian potato up and running on your computer with a graphical installer. The Debian/Stormix distribution also includes the newest Helix-gnome and 2.2.16 kernel. You also get a very useful graphical front-end to apt-get and dselect, called Strom Pack
